--- Proficiency in interpreting and using wiring diagrams, schematics, and engineering work instructions.
--- Demonstrated ability to analyze and troubleshoot defective units down to the component level.
--- Proficiency in the use of general test equipment such as Oscilloscopes, function generators, and DMM's.
--- Proficiency in using Windows-based computer programs, including Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.
--- Highly desirable skills include hand-soldering and rework experience and a general understanding of printed wiring assembly production (although the latter is not required).
--- Candidates should be available and willing to work alternate shifts and overtime as needed.
